Christopher P. Twomey After receiving his PhD from MIT, Christopher P. Twomey joined the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School as an Assistant Professor of National Security Affairs in November 2004.  He is currently revising a book manuscript entitled The Military Lens: Doctrinal Differences, Misperception, and Deterrence Failure in Sino-American Relations.  It explains how differing military doctrines make diplomatic signaling, interpretations of those signals, and assessments of the balance of power more difficult by examination of several deterrent attempts between China and the United States in the early Cold War.  Twomey previously spent two years as an adjunct faculty member of the Political Science Department at Boston College (2003-04) and two years as a research fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (2001-03).  His research interests center on security studies, Chinese foreign policy, strategic culture, statecraft, and East Asian security in theory and practice.  He has authored several book chapters, published in such journals as Security Studies and Issues and Studies, and co-edited Power and Prosperity: The Links between Economics and Security in Asia-Pacific (1996).  Additional information about his research and teaching can be found at www.nps.navy.mil/faculty/ctwomey.
